Is There a Possibility of Recurrence After Lower Eyelid Fat Repositioning Surgery?

To maintain a youthful appearance,

one of the areas we need to pay attention to

is the area around the eyes.

Because the tissue in this area

is thinner than other facial skin,

when skin elasticity decreases

and under-eye fat and dark circles appear,

it can give an impression of fatigue.

Today, we will look into

the possibility of recurrence after

lower eyelid fat repositioning,

which many people are curious about,

and explain the points

VN uses to help prevent recurrence.

What is lower eyelid fat repositioning?

This is a procedure that addresses

bulging under-eye areas by moving

excess under-eye fat to sunken areas,

repositioning or removing it to improve

hollows and shadows beneath the eyes.

It is commonly thought that

lower eyelid fat repositioning is a procedure

for patients in older age groups,

but it is sought by people of various ages.

The symptoms of under-eye fat differ by age.

As people get older, the area gradually sags

and the symptoms become more severe.

In patients in their 20s,

orbital fat protrudes, creating a bulging under-eye area.

In patients in their 30s,

the orbital fat gradually becomes more prominent,

and the tear trough appears sunken.

In patients in their 40s,

the orbital fat sags,

and the tear trough becomes more defined.

In patients in their 50s,

the skin around the tear trough becomes discolored,

creating a noticeably tired appearance.

At VN Plastic Surgery,

we will improve the under-eye area more brightly

through customized surgery tailored

to each age and symptom.
